I'm not sure about the 328i - my wife didn't order it and got it instead from dealer stock. I wasn't aware the alarm was optional? I also don't recall ordering the alarm for my car....but perhaps it was included in one of the packages I got.

BMW is a tad ridiculous with some of the items that aren't included standard, while the MSRP continues to climb:

- No alarm standard
- No lighting package standard (at least on the 328+!)
- Downgraded head unit from the E90 for BT and other radio related items

At least we finally get power and fold down seats standard ...

My wife is REALLY disappointed she doesn't have angel eyes on her 328i - something she really liked about the past BMW models I've had. Hopefully an after market solution will be available at some point.

I have a 2013 328I and mine doesnt have a panic button either. When i went back to the dealership the other day, i asked them about it and they told me to hold down the trunk button and it should turn on. I havent tried it yet but maybe that will work for you? hope that helps....
